It's been a bit rough around here the past few weeks. Madison has been having an absolute terrible time sleeping at night. Actually, it has been longer than a few weeks. More like a few months. It started out with her waking up once maybe twice a night. And it has gotten progressively worse. Now, she wakes up 5+ times a night. There is no reason for it either. She just doesn't want to sleep I guess. She is fully awake and aware of her surroundings, so it is not night terrors. I thought maybe teething at first, but we are going on 3 months of this now. I am thinking teething isn't the main problem anymore. Though, it certainly could be a part. She has only 6 teeth, so more are obviously to come. But there is nothing I can see or feel on her gums.
Since she doesn't get much sleep at night and she refuses to take a nap during the day, she is usually pretty grumpy throughout the day. So, life is a little miserable. Not only is she grumpy but momma is grumpy and tired too. So, I haven't been getting too much done. She's been pretty clingy.
I just miss my happy little girl. I miss her smiles and giggles. I miss her just being Maddybug. I really wish I knew what was going on with her. I want to fix this. But I can't. And I feel so helpless. I even brought it up to the Dr at her 12 month well baby apt last week. The Dr told me it was just a phase. And she will grow out of it.

Hopefully, she outgrows this "phase", but if it doesn't soon I am going to bring her back in to the Dr and see what else we can figure out.
